The challenge of HIV refuses to disappear

23 July 2009

Tuesday 1 December (To mark World AIDS Day – 1 December)

Professor Deenan Pillay (UCL Virology)

This lecture discusses how the AIDS epidemic continues to grow despite our immense knowledge of the virus itself. Professor Pillay will examine some of the failures of the HIV vaccination programme and look at how the roll out of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to the developing world is a priority. Professor Pillay will also discuss how ART is merging with prevention and rapidly becoming the major tool in the fight against HIV.
